The Lamplighter, by Charles Dickens, with weird typography. An experiment in memory state and pattern matching and short-term retention.

Well, I have to admit that "an experiment in memory state and pattern matching" is a far better justification than the one the guy actually gives on his top page, which is an utter crock.
As I noted on Twitter: I like creating peculiar substitution ciphers for fun, too, but I don't invent elaborate excuses to try to make them sound useful.
Also, if he wants people to actually learn that, he needs to start with initial lessons in a font about twice as big. I probably could have worked my way through The Lamplighter before eyestrain set in if he had.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
